SPRINGTIME CLASSIC

29th March 2015

CLASSIC ROUTE

The Classic is the hardest and longest of the three rides on the Burgess Hill Springtime Classic event.

An excellent event to prepare for the cycling season ahead. The route is hard for this time of the year and should only be attempted by experienced cyclists able to ride for four or more hours over hilly terrain.

With a distance of 71 miles (114km) and 1653 metres of climbing, the route will test riders endurance.
There are four feed stations on this ride to help riders around the course with the major feed station at Hever half way around this route.

Riders on the Classic route log in their timing chip at Hever and are advised to get as much food down them as possible at this excellent feed station. Hills on route include Pillow Mounds Hill, Kidds Hill,Groombridge hill and the infamous Cobb Lane hill. Riders will also have the chance to relish the many descents this testing course offers.
